Help Yourself

When I walk in your shoesI understand a man confusedThey're much too big, but I don't careI feel the weight your shoulders bearNow I really empathizeLooking through your bloodshot eyesAnd I know you, you're so frustratedBut we all become what we once hatedBesides, nobody can be that wise

I can't help you if you won't help yourself (help yourself, help yourself)I can't help you if you don't help yourself (help yourself)You can only get so much from someone else (You can get so much from me)I can't help you if you won't help yourself (help yourself)

You've got a degree in philosophySo you think you're cleverer than me ('cause you're so smart)But I'm not just some drama queen (drama queen)Cos it's where you're at not where you've beenSo what do you expect from meTo hold your head above the sea (keep you high and dry)And carry you, even though you're bigger'Cos don't you know you crush my tiny figureAnd anyway, we're still so young (yeah, i'm so young)And this isn't yesterday

I can't help you if you won't help yourself (help yourself, help yourself)I can't help you if you don't help yourself (help yourself)You can only get so much from someone else (You can get so much from me)I can't help you if you won't help yourself (help yourself)

You might be twenty-five but in my mindI see you at sixteen years old most of the timeAnd I'm, I'm just a child and you're full grownAnd it was like nothing that I've ever knownYou are like nothing that I ever knew
